Not always a saint by mary jo putney5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() “Attraction is mysterious and not easily explained. “A little, but I’m also speaking the truth.” They’d reached the end of the beach, so she linked her arm in his and they swung around to retrace their steps. Well shaped, thoughtful, serious, but with a lurking bit of humor.” She smiled mischievously. Her fingertips sketched the lines of his face. “Broad-shouldered.” She swept her fingers across his chest from the point of one shoulder to the point of the other. “How about tall?” She reached up to brush a lock of hair from his forehead. “No?” She stopped and swung around to face him. There’s nothing unusual about my appearance.” Kirkland’s tailor helped my appearance, but I have to be reminded to dress carefully and to cut my hair. ![]() “The most I aspire to is ‘presentable’ and I don’t always manage that. Would I have reciprocated your interest if you weren’t so very handsome?” “You are the most tactful of men, Daniel Herbert. “A woman who is a blank slate isn’t very interesting.” His mouth curved up. ![]() “I’m sure you didn’t expect them as part of the package.” Instead, the more I saw of you, the more I came to appreciate your warmth and intelligence and character.” If I’d spoken with you and you were a silly widgeon, my interest would have vanished. When I saw you, I felt an intense physical reaction in every fiber of my body. Yes, your appearance attracted me, but I’ve seen other beautiful women who inspired no more than detached admiration. ![]()

Going Rogue by Sarah Palin5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Opponents derided her as a wide-eyed Pollyanna unprepared for national leadership. ![]() Supporters called her 'refreshing,' 'honest,' a kitchen-table public servant they felt would fight for their interests. But as the campaign unfolded, Palin became a lightning rod for both praise and criticism. Palin's hometown story touched a populist nerve, rallying hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans to the GOP ticket. Like her GOP running mate, John McCain, Palin wasn't a packaged and over-produced 'candidate.' She was a Main Street American woman: a working mom, wife of a blue collar union man, and mother of five children, the oldest serving his country in Iraq and the youngest, an infant with special needs. And while revitalizing public school funding and ensuring the state met its responsibilities to seniors and Alaska Native populations, Palin also beat the political 'good ol' boys club' at their own game and brought Big Oil to heel. And the biggest private sector infrastructure project in U.S. As chief executive of America's largest state, she had built a record as a reformer who cast aside politics-as-usual and pushed through changes other politicians only talked about: Toward energy independence. On SeptemAlaska Governor Sarah Palin gave a speech at the Republican National Convention that electrified the nation and instantly made her one of the most recognizable women in the world. ![]()
